The Sweet Sound Of Armour in Calgary

Armour rolled through the downtown streets of Calgary again today and it was music to my ears.

The Strathconas had a 100 man honour guard march in the parade followed up by a Coyote, a Leopard C2, and a Taurus ARV.

The crowds loved the troops and the AFV rumbling down the streets....especially with the Leopard and Taurus doing pivot turns.

It was great to see some very old friends today from the Strathconas and good to know that they still miss Calgary.

Note the new wheels on the Coyote...the front four wheels have a different style of planetary gear cover from the rear four wheels.



Callsign 28E....this Taurus is for sure showing its age but it is still plugging along.



Callsign 23B was a very nicely camouflaged Leopard C2. Note the new bright cam net on the turret and the old and faded one on the hull.
